Career Pathways

Overview

Career Pathways is a program developed for high school students who complete at least three courses in a career and technical program sequence. Students can choose from a range of exciting careers found within the sixteen career clusters. Students are able to earn articulated college credit at Pensacola Junior College in an aligned two-year Associate of Science Degree, Associate of Applied Science Degree, or a two-year certificate program. They also have the option to transfer identified career-oriented degrees to certain state universities and ultimately earn a bachelor’s degree. Articulated credit is also available at the University of West Florida for career academy graduates. George Stone Technical Center articulates high school credit toward technical certification completion as well. For more information, call the Workforce Education Department at (850) 469-5360.
